Hello Crosby Families,
Thanks to all of our students who participated in the Middletown Parade to represent Crosby this weekend. Shout out to the parents of our baseball, softball, and dance teams, along with several PTSA members!
We believe that rigor is not about piling on work—it’s about engaging students in deeper learning, critical thinking, and meaningful problem-solving. Our staff is working together to ensure that expectations are clear, consistent, and high across the board, because we know our students rise to the level of challenge we provide.
You can support this effort at home by encouraging your child to stay organized, ask questions, and give their best effort each day. When school and home partner together, students see the importance of their learning and grow even stronger.

Hi families! We're excited to tell you more about the trip we're planning with EF Tours, our educational partner. Please register for our info session to be considered for our upcoming travel opportunity.
In our session, we'll cover everything from how this opportunity will benefit your child, what's included in the experience, how we'll keep the trip safe and affordable, and much more. Plus, if we haven't met yet, it's a good chance to learn more about me as both an educator and a Group Leader.
Registration for this session is mandatory to help organize our meeting, and a parent or guardian must attend. Can't make it? Choose "No, but send info" so you don't miss out.

I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Labor Day weekend with your loved ones. As we move into September, our focus at Crosby is on maintaining steady routines for students each day. Consistency helps build comfort, confidence, and trust, which are essential for students to thrive both academically and socially.
Our staff is committed to supporting students in every space; whether in the classroom, during hallway transitions, or through collaborative planning in teacher teams. When teachers are absent, clear plans are left to ensure learning continues without pause. These consistent practices reflect our dedication to creating a safe, structured, and engaging learning environment.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership in reinforcing routines at home as well. Together, we’re helping our students build the habits that lead to success at #ThePlaceToBe!

Crosby Cheer: Alternate Tryout information (see flyer)
Tomorrow and Wednesday, our students will be taking the MAP assessment, which provides us with valuable information about their growth and helps guide instruction throughout the year. Please help set them up for success by ensuring they get a good night’s rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive at school on time each day. Encourage your child to do their best, remind them that this is an opportunity to show what they’ve learned and how much they’ve grown since their Spring assessment. Thank you for your support in making testing a positive experience for our students!

Hello Crosby Families,
We hope you had a wonderful weekend! We’re excited to kick off the week by introducing one of our favorite traditions, the annual Crosby Color Run fundraiser!
This past Friday, we sent home Color Run Packets to each student. This packet has the complete details about the logistics of the Color Run as well as how your family can get involved.
This event brings our school community together for a fun, energetic day while raising important funds to support student programs and activities. We can’t wait to see our students (and parents!) show their school spirit in a burst of color!
